There's plenty of fan support across the United States for the Los Angeles Dodgers and New York Yankees in this year's MLB postseason.
A new map created by SportsInsider.com based on geotagged Twitter data, including over 100,000 playoff-related tweets, shows the Dodgers have the most states rooting for them with 15, followed closely by the Yankees with 12. The Houston Astros were the third-most-popular team with seven states.
The Dodgers defeated the Washington Nationals 6-0 in Game 1 of their National League Division Series on Thursday, while the Yankees open their American League Division Series against the Minnesota Twins on Friday night.
